ROCK-tober Craft

Jesus is the Rock

Jesus Is My ROCK!

Discussion
Ask children to hold their rocks and describe how they feel. Are they hard? Strong? Solid?

Explain that the Bible calls Jesus our Rock because He is strong, faithful, and dependable. Just as a rock is solid and firm, we can always depend on Jesus!

Bible Memory Verse
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer." Psalm 18:2

You will need
Smooth, flat river rocks (one per child)
Colorful paint markers or permanent markers
Optional: Clear acrylic sealer (adult use)

Directions
Give each child a smooth river rock. Have children use decorative markers to write JESUS across the rock in large, colorful letters. On the back write Psalm 18:2. Encourage them to decorate around the name with patterns, dots, hearts, or other designs.

Take-Home Challenge
Encourage children to place their ROCK-tober rocks somewhere they'll see them every day. Whenever they see their rocks, they can remember that Jesus is their Rock and thank Him for His strength and faithfulness.

Even There

Finding God in the Places I Never Wanted to Go

Some places in life we choose. Others we would give anything to escape.

My new book, Even There, is a short, true testimony of how the words of Psalm 139 have intersected with my life again and again--from a lonely childhood to a life-threatening diagnosis, overwhelming anxiety, devastating loss, and years of caring for my severely disabled husband.

This isn't a story of a trouble-free faith. It's for anyone who has suffered, questioned, waited, or wondered where God is when life doesn't turn out the way they anticipated.

My hope is that as you read my story, you'll be encouraged to look at Psalm 139 again and consider how its words intersect with your story too.

There is nowhere suffering can take us where God is not already there.

Even There: Finding God in the Places I Never Wanted to Go 
is now available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions.
